@aram My library offers two editions of Huck Finn via Libby, both from dubious public domain ebook only publishers.
Overdrive has many editions (see link), but my guess is most libaries are picking editions they can get for free (provided by aforementioned dubious publishers--look up "Duke Classics") due to the exorbitant costs of library ebooks.
The subject of authorized editions of Twain's works is a whole other post, but this might answer part of your question.
In case you missed it, Bluesky is apparently caving to an authoritarian government:

This is why the Fediverse is so important: each Fedi server is totally independent, servers communicate directly with each other, anyone can set up a server anywhere.
Bluesky posts all flow through Bluesky's own corporate relay which is impossible to bypass, making censorship easy.
No one controls the Fediverse

Thank you for your leadership and recognizing the urgency of this dangerous moment for our democracy and the rule of law, Senator Van Hollen.
Are your elected officials doing everything in their power to bring Kilmar Abrego Garcia home? Make sure they hear from you today.
The billionaires think they're speedrunning America through the fall of democracy and rise of their fascist utopia
but
in reality they're speed-educating Americans about why we have a democracy and rule-of-law in the first place.
